Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2008, Publicación: 98ª reunión CIT (2009)

Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes with regret that the Government has not submitted a report since November 2004. It recalls that, in its first report on the application of the Convention, the Government indicated that the principle of social dialogue was still relatively new and its general acceptance and practice was being pursued. The Committee again invites the Government to provide information on the activities of the National Tripartite Committee for International Labour Standards established to address the matters regarding the ILO.

Tripartite consultations required under the Convention. The Committee also noted that feedback from the social partners had not been received regarding the items on the agenda of the Conference. It noted that the social partners were consulted before proposals were submitted to the competent authority. The Committee refers to its observation on the obligation to submit the instruments adopted by the Conference to the National Assembly, and recalls that the Government has not provided information on the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference at the 11 sessions held between 1996 and 2007. It asks the Government to supply information in its next report on the tripartite consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, including information as to the frequency of these consultations, and providing examples of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations held under the established procedures.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2009.]
